Do you live on a earthquake fault?

Which one? Have you felt a earthquake before? How scared were you? What has been your experience with earthquakes?

We live along the New Madrid fault line. We've had minor earthquakes. It's a scary experience to feel the ground shaking under you. We try to remember to get in the doorway and cover our heads. Sometimes we just freeze tho. They say we have earthquakes here under ground all the time but we don't feel them all.

Please no 1 word answers on this post. I'm going to read and rate each one. I'll try to respond where I can, but would like to thank everyone now for responding.

We do not live in a earthquake prone area. We had never had an earthquake, but in 2002 in the middle of the night we had tremors. I had never been through an earthquake, so I thought it was another terrorist attack. I was so afraid and ran to grab my son, but it stopped. When we turned on the news in the morning, they were all reporting on it. Scared the life out of me.

I have never felt an earthquake in West Virginia but was amazed to find that we have had one. The government has a site with all states listed with the history of earthquakes in each state. It is truly interesting to look at the site. I was amazed at all the ifo and possible danger taht we are not being made aware of. I am still new to mylots so I cannot copy and paste teh link so I have to type it all in. Please forgive me for errors. It is located at http://www.earthquake.usgs.gov/reginal/states.php

They also have a USGS National Seismic Hazard Map that is an eye opener. The info is scary.
It can be found here:
